I don't know where you live, so this is a meta-point, but...
If you don't want density, move to the country or to the suburbs of a medium-sized city that does not have a housing shortage (thus far less pressure to increase density). In the post-COVID telecommuting age this is easier than ever before, at least for people in the industries that are popular on this site.
If you decide to move to a top-tier city or a rapidly growing boom-town, you do not get to complain about density.

If you don't like the existing density of a city, then move somewhere else. You don't have a right to live wherever you want at whatever price point you want, just like I don't have a right to demand a beachfront villa in Hawaii.

If you choose to move to a city that incumbent residents have built up and love, you do not get to complain that they don't want to increase their density to accommodate you. You can move to some other city instead of taking away from others who have built something you now covet and find desirable.
